Summary – Rory and Jess, their early relationship. No idea how this is going to end, but I think it's a sweet start. I can promise you plenty of romantic angst for later!

A/N – Hey! I love Rory and Jess' relationship and I just wanted to play around with it a bit!

Jess' POV

I need to get her out of my head and stop labouring over something that's not going to happen. It's pathetic, it's depressing; and those are two things that I just don't do well.

It feels like there's a spark between us and sometimes the heat is so intense that it burns. I get a deep, burning longing when I'm around her and the more often I keep running into her, the more agonising it becomes to control.

Why does she make me feel this way? I mean, I've had my fair share of lust before, but this is something more than that. She's more than that.

If everything were different, if we could start again, I know we'd fit perfectly, if pressed together…

Come on! Snap out of it! She's Dean's and I'm Shan…well, Shane's mine – God why am I such a jerk?

…Pressed together with Rory…

Jess was still labouring lustfully against his better judgement, when he heatedly wrenched open the diner door. Brought back to reality, his hands flew up and he yelped (in a not so masculine way much to his agitation). He tried to fight down the guilty flush that was creeping across his face.

Rory gasped in shock as she stumbled forwards, grasping an invisible door handle.

"S…sorry!" they spluttered simultaneously.

Jess eyed Rory, breathing slightly heavily with an anxious and somewhat bemused expression on his face. Rory tucked a stray stand of hair behind her ear and eyed Jess with the same look of uneasiness and bewilderment.

They were both frozen like that for a few seconds until Luke's agitated voice boomed, "Jess, for God's sake shut the door! The customers are putting on their jackets and Kirk has just adorned himself with lime green earmuffs…"

"Sap green, you colour-blind moron," Kirk's monotone voice interrupted.

"I don't care, they're killing me!" Luke continued.

Rory was relieved by this interruption as her eyes were beginning to water. They both stood back to let one another pass.

Rory bit her lip and her cheeks betrayed her awkwardness, but still, she waited to see who would make the first move.

Jess couldn't help but smirk slightly at how uncomfortable Rory looked. He knew that he was teasing her, but it was so very enjoyable to see her blush.

Rory could no longer hold his powerful glare and her eyes fluttered to the floor. She sighed with frustration as she decided to be the one to end this peculiar icy battle of wills.

She looked up crossly at the now openly smirking face of Jess, and shuffled past him into the diner, trying to appear indifferent. She felt a small playful tug on her ponytail, but she refused to react and give him anymore pleasure.

As they took off on their separate ways, they were both mildly surprised to find that they couldn't stop smiling to themselves.

A/n – I hope that you enjoyed it! This is my first fanfiction and I would love to continue this, if you'd review me your opinions! I'm open to any ideas as to where this could go!
